nice...cool pairing....i like the dripping faucet and what each drop contains.... age as a carnival mask...that one is def my fav...that kid inside always seeking home...
These are gorgeous and expertly drawn. The aspens are golden here on the mountain. This morning I emptied the ash bucket and watched it rise to the trees in billowy wisps. Thank you for capturing these sparkling moments.
Princess or Queen of haiku today, yes, more than apropos, a perfect balanced statement, a functional recipe for Fall. And like others, I adore haiku #2 & #6, as a drop of water is a microcosm, a universe within molecular maze, and the paean to aging is bang on, hits me both in the solar plexus, and third eye. What a terrific celebration; thanks.
A wonderful composition, in every respect...Each haiku is a distinctive vingette, bringing the reader through the general, to the specific and, finally, to the distinctly personal. A fine treatise on change, the inevitable, mortality, transition. A very special and memorable work.
Interesting grouping of haiku. >KB
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection displayed beautifully.

ReplyDeletethe carnival mask...the child seeking home...loved this one esp. gay and also the dripping faucet... i like when everyday turns into poetry..
ReplyDeleteThe children growing up contrasted with a maple leaf... really beautiful haiku. Autumn is so nice to write haiku on..
ReplyDeleteexcellent set Gay, each one a stand alone, but all loosely tied together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful combination of image, theme, words
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Gay. You definitely have been inspired by autumn!! I love your presentation as much as I love your poetry.

ReplyDeleteWow, Gay, what a lovely haiku cycle -- love that it is cyclical visually and feels cyclical thematically. And what beautifully creative composition!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful small gems. Love how they all fit together.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous work Gay---I so love your work!
ReplyDeleteAll are beautifully penned — my favorite:
ReplyDelete"Age, a carnival mask
The child within still struggles
Always seeking home"
carnival mask...you are one brilliant writer and a poet! I love your work. :)
ReplyDeletethis was so cleverly penned..enjoyed the display..
ReplyDeleteThe scorched blanket image fascinates me, evoking a sunburn from falling asleep on a picnic blanket (as well as autumn leaves :-) ).
ReplyDeleteLovely set of haiku and nicely illustrated on a leaf.
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of haiku...especially paired with the leaf.

ReplyDeleteI'm a bit jealous for autumn as we are entering the rainy season here in Brazil-- what a great glimpse. Thanks for sharing :) ~peace, Jason
ReplyDeleteLovely. I enjoyed your execution of overall theme. It made me miss autumn. *smile*
ReplyDeleteSummer drags a scorched blanket - my favourite and enjoyed the layout, gave a different feel and meaning to your words.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful
